Book Reviews of Stillness Speaks
Book Review: Again, he speaks to the heart....
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, "Stillness Speaks", is one of the finest, most clear, and yet most difficult books I have read about the simple practice of being *still*. Using words, of necessity from 'intellect', to describe a practice which our very culture does it's utmost to destroy, Eckhart Tolle manages to convey the feelings and emotion of STILLNESS.A wondrous, remarkable book --- which will aid the transformation of anyone who wishes to be free of the tyranny of ego/intellect.
Book Review: Already flagged, tagged, and marked up
Summary: 5 Stars
I am n ot that much into self-help and inspirational type books, but this one touches a chord. In the introduction, Tolle says if you read it looking for food for thought you will be disappointed, possibly because he is trying to get us out of our heads, away from thinking and into knowing. But I am finding much to think about here; I read a couple of passages and close the book and let what I just read soak in.
I got into Tolle because of a recommendation from a therapist that I'd approached for help in dealing with my chronic tinnitus, which I've had for years and perceive as getting louder. I know it is not going away, but I wanted help to learn how not to react to it, not let it annoy me so much. Dr. Tolle has already helped me to understand that acceptance of things that can't change is so much more liberating than resistance, and I have already begun to think of the sounds in my head as an opportunity to be more aware of the present.
Book Review: Amazing route to mindfulness
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading The Power of Now & New Earth, one would only be ready to read this small but concise & comprehensive book.
Divided into 200 small entry , Tolle has managed to , artistically , using the combination of few words in each entry , to get the reader into the state of Mindfulness. Reading an entry is like practicing 10 minutes meditation in the morning as suddenly you are mindful & enlightened.
Need not to read more than one or two entry each day.
No exaggeration , but this could be one of the quickest fix books I have ever read, to create a sense of peace. Well done Mr.Tolle
Book Review: An instant spiritual classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the real sequel to "The Power of Now", this a book that you will cherish, you'll find reminders on every page, reminders of who you really are, and what in life really matters.. this is my new gift book, I've already given it to all my friends... I'm sure you'll cherish it as much as I do...Book Review: Another diamond in the rough
Summary: 5 Stars
Another diamond in the rough of transcendental literature.Ekhart readers please note - if you read to gather facts & data as in an academic research approach, you'll find nothing new here. If, on the other hand, you appreciate the value of constantly exercising your dormant 'spirituality muscles' on a routine basis, then you'll find E. Tolle has put himself into the position of exercise coach in a beautifull & constantly uplifting manner in this book.
Just open the book & 60 seconds later you've got that nudge; changing the direction, focus & content of your awareness. If you like to be constantly nudged out of programmed mind patterns, you'll find this book (at the price of 2 beers) to be an indispensible investment.
